Publisher Description
Here for your reading delectation are 25 outre tales of crime.

This Collection Truly Blows
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE.
Okay, talk about scraping the bottom of 1930's and 1940's barrels. Worse than any "groan"-ending are multiple "huh-whuh?"-endings --- which is where I'm at (nearly 350 pp. into 550).
While a '30's/'40's perspective is often amusing or predictive, these stories, in short, are just plain dumb (probably just right for the mouth-breathers of the mid-1930's).
FeministAlert: Look for the yarn (Spicy Stories, c 1935): set in Hollywood, in which the shamus (I counted my highlights) makes reference to "high, milky-white breasts" or similar, using "breasts" 12 times in just one short story.
